Work / Questions regarding Job and salary? Junior accountant position in Poland. [33]

Hi guys,

My first post on this forum, so please don't bash on me too hard :-)

Anyways, I've been offered a a postion as Junior accountant in Krakow. I'm sure its not the most exiting job, but I love Poland so I'm willing to take this postion,

So I'm 21 years old, no previous full time job postion and my educational background is an economic Gymnasium.

Since I have no idea regarding the salaries in Poland (Krakow), I just want the oponion of someone who does before I accept this job.

Ill be giving 8500 Gross pr. month which I guess is equal to like 58-6000 net pr. month, right?

So I guess my question is, is it worth working for this salary in such kinda boring postion? And also in your opnion do you think I will benefit from having this work experince on my resume, if lets say I continue onto university and take a bachelor in Economics?

Thank you very much for your replies, its greatly appresiated.

Karl.

Hi Gdyniaguy,

Thank you very much for that positiv response!
You just encouraged me ever more to take the position.

I was thinking the same thing regarding getting some work experince before my studies, because as I see it today so many people have good degress but no experince once they finish, and possible to have some decent working experince will outweigh the fact that I only wanna take a bachelor and not a masters.

Also, never turn down a job because it's below you..or you feel that you are better.

No I didnt mean it at all this way! I just wasnt quite sure if I was gonna be getting underpaid according to be position I have been offered. To me it doesnt seem like much I would make, but I'm sure its just because I compare it to salaries in Denmark, which maybe I shouldnt.

But thank you all very much for the positiv feedback, I know others opinions shouldnt matter when you make a decision in life, but still your comments/advices helped me make up my mind.

So thansk alot guys!

I bet the job is with State Street

No actually its not. May I ask why you would assume this?

It might be, but I was promised that this isnt a call center position, but that it involves working general ledger and such. But offcourse there will be some calls/emails to take care of in my native language.

At which company ?

I`m sorry, but is this relevant to my question?
